I'm afraid I'm late in making well wishes, but Howard left reminders for us to visit and to recall.
Hodgkin is a fraud and comparing him to Matisse is laughable . Its just a scam.
My understanding of art is, you see it and you like it or not. It talks to you in a certain way or not. With Hodgkin, for me, it doesn’t work… sorry
Interesujące…
This is the kind of "art" that makes the general public make fun of artists, and the art world as a whole. It's ludicrous to call this accomplished on any level. Abstract painting can be worthwhile, but this is a joke, and he knows it.
Truly poor work,I love abstract,but my god what a chancer
I really like the paintings of Howard Hodgkin. I experience them as a kind of gestural dance – filled with sensuel presence and feeling
had absolute control of the wide brushes – minimalist painting at its very best
Some painting, and it doesn't matter if it's abstract or figurative, is just not interesting. These paintings fall into that category in my opinion. They look as if Hodgkin is trying to imitate abstract painting, but just can't get a grip on it.
Awesome
Do you think he loaded his brush with oil paint then dipped it in Linseed Oil before making the strokes?
The music is quite nice …
Really Beautiful and causes me to smile in my mind. To capture a place or a feeling so simply and deeply is very difficult to achieve.

素晴らしい作品ですね！
Non imaginative painting,so boring,so small in creation!!!
I painted like that when I was 5. I called it dinosaur prints!
Cretins! Grow up and stop whining because Hodgkin doesnt comply with your expectations. His works have qualities nd charms that are not strictly logical. Hodgkin makes use of a creative illogic. A negative capability. He takea risks- not always successfuly but hes willing to try. Hes willing to be risk being seen as naive and immature. But Its his boldness and his playfulness that make his work so poetic and fulfilling to experience. Like it or not- Hodgkin will continue to be an important artist for a very long time.
Straight up crap. If this is considered good art why would there even be art classes and art schools? Just give everyone some paint and ask them to smear it all over a canvas without any direction, skill, or vision whatsoever
all the people on here calling this good and works of art are no doubt british. They are so hard up for credible artists that they will try to push out all kinds of shit. This is a prime example of the british marketing machine gone awry…. smudge this shit some where else
straight up garbage…
biggest bullshit ever. without the stories these are just paintings thousand times made and seen before. and they are small, that makes it even worse. he is painting over the frame, wow. biggest idea ever and I ve seen this also before. the good old big brushstrokes…I am yawning. the ganges painting is the only acceptable one. sorry mr. hodkin.
Since about 1975 Hodgkin has produced some of the most sublime abstracts of the century.
That said, he should have destroyed most of his output from the 50s and 60s which can be awful juvenile stuff! (one of my faves, Agnes Martin, had said the same of her early work and destroyed a lot of it – but she wished she had done all of it!)
cool stuff 🙂
Had the pleasure meeting this man today in Norwich at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. Was an honour talking to him.
Nice video!
I admire your works since the 80´s. Glad to see you here and to hear you.
Uau, it's your personal Youtube! I appreciate your paintings. I'm fine artist from São Paulo, Brazil. Your idea of composition is very freedom in any "things". My English is basic, I'm sorry. Please, come on visit my collages: http://www.fernandoecorreia.wix.com/arte.

Good video, thank you.
the most beautiful show I've seen in years!!!!
